Second Seminar:
Topic: Embedding Success: Vectorizing the Future of Skills, Occupations, and Policy Insights
Presenter: Dr. Georgios Feretzakis, ML Researcher, AE4RIA
Abstract:
This seminar will explore the transformative potential of modern vector databases, focusing on the use of semantic embeddings and similarity search techniques to revolutionize policy analysis. Key topics include:
- Text cleaning & vectorization with SentenceTransformer
- Efficient search techniques using FAISS
- Real-world applications, such as extracting skills from policy texts, matching them with occupations, and recommending targeted educational courses.
By integrating advanced computational methods with economic insights, this talk will offer a fresh perspective on education policy, workforce development, and labor market analysis.
Join us for an engaging discussion that bridges the gap between technology, policy, and economic research.
